SPN 107 FMI 3 Low (Maintenance Warning)

System Overview: Air Induction System

Air filter restriction sensor signal voltage exceeded 4.85 Volts DC, indicating an open circuit in the sensor return line.

Driver Symptoms
  • Yellow air cleaner restriction indicator warning on dash display
  • Normal engine power maintained (no derate unless intake restriction exceeds 25 in-H2O vacuum)
Probable Causes
  • Disconnected harness connector at the air intake duct restriction switch
  • Broken sensor ground wire in engine front harness
  • Completely plugged primary air filter element
Diagnostic Steps
  1. Inspect visual mechanical restriction sight glass gauge (Filter Minder) on air box ducting
  2. Check 5V reference supply and ground across the 2-pin connector
  3. Replace primary and secondary safety air filter elements if restriction exceeds 20 in-H2O (5.0 kPa)
Sensor Wiring Pinout: 2-Pin Connector: Pin 1 (+5V / Signal), Pin 2 (Chassis Ground Return)
